FROM COLOGNE TO MAINZ. By JOSEPH SNOWE, Esq. The want of a work which should include all the " legends, traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long felt by the European publie. It is quite true that much has beer. written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a great deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. But still it is not lees true, that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions whieh attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns and hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone th sole highway of central Europe, but the centre of European eivilieation itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given zn any thing like an entire form to the world. The present attoimpt is made to supply, as far as possible, that desideratum in general literature. To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and to those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book that there oan be no more acceptable offering. It is fondly hoped that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant beauties of the glorious scenes over which they have heretofore wandered, and fix them more firmly in their memory by connecting them with the facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason, their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past, and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by it into one harmonious whole. The pains bestowed on this production, and the time employed in ite completion, entitle the Author to hope for public favour. Nothing ho been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner. Tha w uele will he complete in a series of twenty-four 'Monthly p w e i r l i l or also Parts, forming two handsome octavo volumes. Each Part will contain ti,vo sheets of Letter-press, with beautiful Wood-engra wings f ro m Drawings by Mr. Butler, illustrativ e of the Legends or plate, forming contain picturesque Panorama. the Localities. a e a e c t h ion su o c f ce a ssi m ve os P t ar sa t of the shores of the Rhine between the two Cities which form the termini. - ii Y, Price On e Shilling.

Dr. Chalmers delivered his fifth Lecture this day. The room was, as on former occasions, very much crowded with Members of both Houses of Parliament, and other persons. The Rev. Doctor commenced by stating that the subject of the lecture to-day was a territorial establishment and collegiate efficiency. It might well be thought it was easier to state the grounds of preference on which Protestantism should be adopted rather than Popery. In Ire land, it was not yet the national faith. It was an easier task to select the one and pass over the other, from the very wide and popular dis tinction there was both in principle and effect between. The one was most entitled to the honours and privileges of an establishment; for substantially speaking, those Protestant sects—Evangelical sects—had ene and all the same theology, and he might add that, experimentally speaking, they :had all made their respective contributions to the sound education of the people in Christianity. For example, they could not conceal the wholesome effect in the active and wise ministration that had been rendered by the Wesleyan Methodists, and that too among the families of the very class that stood most in need of those cheap and gratuitous services which it was one great object of an establishment to serve. They could not deny the pure and effective ministrations of Baptists and Presbyterians and many other sects, all varying circumstan tially from the Church of England, yet all in essence and effect teaching the same Christianity. It would be uncharitable to deny that the edu cation given in many of our dissenting chapels -a as a good education for Heaven. It might be easy to say, why Popery should be kept out and Protestantism let in, but it did not appear easy to fix on the proper reason why, when there was so little to discriminate be. tween them, one species of Protestantism should be let in and all the rest kept out.—(Hear, hear, hear.) We think when there is a substantial agreement the matter becomes more easy, and the principle more defined. All other sects were then kept out, and the anomalies of an ecclesiastical system are vindicated. Now let us look to the Establishment 'upon the territorial principle. This, though it has been a stepping-stone to some, was one of the most important to consider, and would almost require one lecture to demon strate. What was meant by a territorial Establishment ? The circum. stance of its being barely an Establishment involved in it the legal pro vision for the clergyman. Supposing a clergyman had a certain district to attend, he must be so allied to his pariSh as to make a tender of his services to every householder. He was bound to add his weekdays as well as Sundays to his ministration, and for the benefit of his parish. To illustrate the distinction between particular or merely congregational and general ministers, and to exemplify what he had defined, namely, an Establishment, without that Establishment being territorial—there was a legal provision to a certain amount in the shape of a re_ glum donum, granted to the Presbyterian clergymen in the north of Ireland, without any definite section of territory being assigned to them, within which they might exercise their Ministry as regarded a beneficial surveillance. The Ministry was thus enabled to surmount the barrier which presented itself against their Ministry, and which consisted in want of wealth, and that was one advantage of endowment that they could let down the seat lints, and thereby secure the at tendance of the people. But there ilsas no provision to enable them to surmount the other barrier—want of will. The people might attend, if they liked, but if they did not, they might accumulate in any num bers without the sphere of the Clergyman's observation, and beyond his moral influence and control —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If they did not come to him, there was nothing in that congregational system which would compel him to go to them, and thus great masses of atheism and infidelity might be congregated around him, the one portion infecting the other. See how possible it was, in . such a state of things, that the people might sink into a rapid state of degene racy when there was no force sufficient to resist them.—(Cheers.) The same economy obtained at one time in the United States of America ; but instead of a provision being made for one seat, it was extended to all, although it did not appear that any minister had charge of all the families within a given district; nor was there any understanding with the State from which he received his maintenance, that he should take cognizance of those who did not come. The Presbyterian Establishment in Ireland was sectarian, but not territorial. In the Northern - States of America it extended to a number of sects, but it was not ter ritorial.—(Loud cheering.) In the Presbyterian Establishments of Scot land, the ministers were sectarian as well as territorial, and he used the word sectarian in its general and comprehensive meaning, and not to signify any particular tenets. The churches of Scotland and England were both sectarian in virtue of their being endowed from holding cer tain tenets, and territorial in virtue of certain ministers having a geo graphical portion of territory assigned to them, which it was their duty essentially to superintend. Now, it was the object to show that in the territorial system, the strength of gis establishment lay. It would be necessary, for this purpose, to adopt strictly experimental means of proving the inefficacy of the voluntary, and the efficacy of the: territorial system. And in discussing this important question, the truth would be attained by directing attention to one locality, from the present state of which—ascertained by actual investigation —might be gathered the pure, inductive philosophy of the argument. In any large town, where the population had greatly outgrown the capacities of the Establishment, no difficulty would be found in discovering a suffi cient specimen of ecclesiastical destitution ; but the number of sittings in places of worship, of all denominations, and melancholy evidence would be afforded of the impotence of voluntaryism, which in its arrogance would supercede every other.—(Cheers, and hear, hear.) Let them come at once to verities of the subject, and it would tound that frequently not more than one in six—on the average not more than one in eight —nay, often not more than one in twelve, fifteen, or twenty of the population had the means of accommodation in any place of worship. This would be acting upon that inductive system of philosophy which was followed in all scientific investigations. The cal, ciliation was, that out of a population of 2,000, there were not above 200 that ever went to any place of worship at all—thus, there was in one locality, not less than sixteen hundred people living in the practice of heathenism, or eight hundred to be provided with Church accommodation. A voluntary Chapel might be erected in the midst of them ; but if it were filled at all it would only be with hearers collected from a distance, and with hearers who had net only the power but the will to pay for the celebration of that worship in which they delighted—and that of necessity would be the case, because there was no territorial charge assigned to the ministrations of the preacher. The charge that was often brought against the scheme was that there were many Chapels with sittings unlet ; but suppose that there might be one with five hundred unlet sittings, and which might not be let even if the price was reduced to almost nothing, so far from that being pleaded in bar or in arrest of our proceedings, he would say that was the very reason, there being a chapel, with 500 sittings rented, why they should build another chapel by the side of it, and bring that to bear in such a way as to act with moral compul sion on the people.—(Hear, hear.) The thing they wanted was the creation of new chapels ; what they wanted was to place the church in the middle of such a territory as he had just specified, and allow a clergyman the perseverance and labour of a whole life time, not to fill his church any how, but to fill his church out of that district. He would have each district singled out for the attention of one endowed clergyman. The important question was, how a territorial establishment was to be worked ? He would suppose an Establishment in the most depraved recesses of the Metropolis. The object of a clergyman there would be to recover his charge from their non-attendance. His object would be not to perpetuate a good, but to restore a bad object to a good one. The question was how a territorial minister would address himself to such an important duty. He would begin with a very small attendance ; few— very few—would be inclined, in the first instance, to go to him on the Sabbath ; and, such being 'the case, it was a reason why he should attend them in the week. The first movement was with the people, and when once they became alienated from the ser vices of the Gospel, without great exertions they might be alienated for ever. A minister would never by his own powers of attraction draw the people to his Church—he must, therefore, adopt another mode of pro ceeding—namely, that of going to them.—(Cheers.) If he did not do this he would never succeed. The movement must begin with him, or there would be no movement at all. The Reverend Gentleman here re ferred to certain returns of the number of persons attending at the se veral churches in a certain district, for the purpose of demonstrating the superior advantages of the Church Extension System.—(Hear.) The principle upon which they went was one of attraction—they (created a new market for themselves, and got altogether new customers, none of whom were in the habit of going anywhere previously, and they could fill their congregations—those they received from the Dissenting meeting.houses being merely accidental—and leave all the others as en tire and numerous as they were before; because their congregations were filled by those who were not in the habit of going anywhere. But they might be asked upon what experience, or what know. ledge of human nature, they grounded their proposition, of such mighty practical effects as these, and it had been asserted that the power of operating upon such stubborn and unlikely classes was but a fancy that could never be realized—that all their experience and ob servation proclaimed against it, and that much as it might be admired as a picture, it was but a picture of Utopianism—that they could not look for the living fulfilment of the plan in their actual every-day expe rience ; but such was not the case. These projects could not be put into the same category with mere imaginary plans ; nor like those schemes of honest but visionary philanthrophy which passed so often before the public eye, but to be forgotten. It was necessary to show that the system had nothing in common with an Arcadian romance—or a fiction of any sentimenalism.—(Hear, hear.) The first experiment quoted would be one which it was in the power almost of every one to verify at pleasure,—it was the cordiality with which the visits of Christian teachers were received by the people.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) From the immense overgrowth of the parishes, the practice of household visitations by the clergy had fallen into desuetude, but when tried on a little experimental slip of the huge territories, there would be found in human nature in this respect a certain vigorous identity; and Christian ministers had been astonished at the cordiality of their recep tion, not only in the agricultural, but in the manufacturing population. He (Dr. Chalmers) had undertakers some years ago a visitation in the parish of St. Giles's, in company with the late Joseph Butterworth— not with the ostensible object of distributing money, for that might have caused the result to be somewhat equivocal—(A laugh)—but to in quire into the state of education : and there was scarcely one exception to the cordiality of their reception. He had learned, a good many years ago in Glasgow, how one might go into the poorest house in the country upon errands of such a nature with the greatest safety to both person and property. Mr. Butterworth at the time made the remark, that it was only a short time—only a few months--since they had made the discovery, that the rich might go among the poor with safety. Such, he was afraid was still the feeling amongst a great part of the rich, and of course caused much distrust on the part of the poor. That was a discovery which all who heard him had the opportunity of making for himself any day. They might themselves have all the benefits ofexperience. It was an experience of much good, for it proved the power of subduing the hearts of the poor by attentions, however trifling, if good will and kindness went along with it. Might they not anticipate, from the working of the same engine, when the man of God went forth in the spirit of zeal and love, and in the midst of domestic groups spoke out with the earnestness of an affectionate heart to the fathers and mothers of families with the same god result. But why should . they make that a matter of inference which should be and which was a matter of direct observation ? Let the depravity of the peasantry be what it might, they never shut the door against their clergymen, and if he would but cross their threshhold lie met with a courteous and friendly en. tertainment. At the commencement of a new parish, when pro. Tided with its new Church, specially destined for the accommoda tion of the people assembled, it was his part to move towards them, for they never, If left to themselves, would move towards him, and he could be at no loss for topics of introduction to please his parish families. The very announcement of him as their minister would secure him a favourable reception. As when he made enquiry into the education of the children who were visited by himself as their official guardian —or as when his services were required for marriages, and baptisms, and funerals—or as when he volunteered to attend at the bedside of the sick and the dying —or as when with kind judicious advice, he could make himself of nse to them in their quarrels, or their misfortunes, or difficulties—by that means he rivctted his moral ascendancy over th em. —(Cheers.) This was not giving any exaggerated description, but the real truth of what in all likelihood would take place by the adoption of such means. If a Clergyman adopted the means he had pointed out he was sure ultimately to succeed; be. cause he would add the weight of his persomal exertion, which would be assisted by the Divine Spirit. If he went forth in that spirit, he would light up a moral sunshine in his parish.—(Cheers.) He must not slacken in his labour, for if in the first twelve months he only made 100 converts in the parish, lie must be satisfied, for he might depend upon it that in a short ti me h e would make his parish a territory of Church-goers.—(Cheers.) Speaking fairly, from the result of experi ence, it was stated that one in nine was a tolerable number to have acquired, but by the last ecclesiastical survey it was ascertained that more than one in three now went.—(Hear, and cheep, ; ) It might be asked why not one in two, which was the maxiMlM number, but his answer was, that it was for the want of that endowment for which they 1 w ere now contending.—(Hear and cheers.) All th.: low priced seatta were already taken, and what they desired APW W4l l thl' Pt 4 *P4A) • •• had might be more generally extended to the people of Scotland. He h , had no access to th e pr i nte d ev i dence taken be f ore t h e Commission/7,010 public instruction, o r h e cou ld h ave re f erre d them to the evi ~t. upon the present p of a eentlemen which bore strongly admitted He had given very strong, very fair, and impressive with regard to the necessity of instruction—it was e_ by him that the establishment of Sabbath schools did not_aon nerally speaking spiritualize, but that it civilized the population of a country. That was not their argument, but it was a very P conversion one to present to such persons. They did not deny that the conve 0 , of a people was a work of great difficulty. They were quite sensiblencie this with regard to men who had lived in a state of ignoraon. _ of the truths of the Gospel, and therefore they could or.io l3 : t count upon a very gradual accession from the grown P t that of the population; but all their experience told them, ted. even of these a goodly number might confidently be exP e r c egas Perhaps, but a small fraction at first were drawn,—but, on the gf the evidence rious principle, others soon followed, till the rigorous observance o_ the Sabbath ripened at length into one of the established properties of t little vicinage which was selected as the field of this momentous experi ment,—fraught with the deepest interest to the commonwealth. (Cheers.) It was impossible in the course of a single lecture to enter e into all the philosophical bases of the question. But this o ne of the gregarious principle in human nature, CO "" es he had alluded, was wort h y of the greatest con siderati on. . He confessed that th e i r b es t h opes were founded upon t h e r ising de", ration by the education of the young, and i n d uc i ng a punctual att en d ance upon the schools i n w hi c h th e teachin of the Bible formed a por tion,e of the master's d u ty. Th ey must notg , however the , l o se sight of `' fact, that the benefit s were not con fi ned to public schools, b u t might ,e . brought to work in every p r i va t e f am il y. Th e Rev. L ecture r then 1!1 °. ceeded further to illustrate th e beneficial effects of a territorial Establish ment. He felt convinced th a t if c l ergymen madegreat efforts, acc omPa rnea e , with perseverance, they would s h or tl y f orm a loca l ceng regation , " d every parish, and ultimately th a t wou ld extend over t h e l e ngth o breadth of the whole empire.—(Loud cheering.) It was trues though they could create th e r i g ht m i n i stering, they cou ld not createat the right men, and without those th e m i n i stry cou l d not be workefuns all, and, therefore, b a d i ns t ea d o f good might be effected. Five hun dred e a clergy might be mad e t o work effectively upon a population the million of souls. The great difficulty was the want of _ s. men, and could they only b e f oun d t h e best results would be produc ti s 7 at Let the minister standin g i n th e stat i on they had supposed make the parish or assigned distri c t th e pecu li ar territory of his week -day Is h° d and he would find a welcome in every house. With very few from their rarity he might call them monstrous objections, he eo f ti t be at no loss for a right topic of introduction—even the annouccen%.. of himself as their minister would secure him in the majority of case , 3 re spectable and friendly reception. His inquiries after the health of the fa in' s , would be well taken, and his inquiries into the education of the young' branches, especially when he could point to the school at the very ' Wr : where goad and cheap education might be obtained, would be an app s; _ ; prime topic. By his attendance there he would soon become th e ' lto verenced and well-liked acquaintance of every young parishione r is tt i attended it. His frequent appearance in the parish seminary 5y". 11 1 ,. obtain for him golden opinions throughout the boyhood of the parish, and his report of the examinations there borne to the maternal ear, e would at all times tend to soften and conciliate her. But there were OW' n events of deep interest in every domestic history, which would °P e e the door to still more endearing and improving attention. providence furnish him with many such ; disease would work for IH — . lc rare, Old death would work for him; and, as the spiritual visitant of every sick and and dying bed, his very appearance would be associated with the d•e 3r- o f interests, and the tenderest regards.
